to the shaft 6 which guide the harvester ounted on the 14, one end of the ing provided with other carries a sprocket wheel 17, over and around which passes a sprocket chain 18, said sprocket chain serving to connect the sprocket 17 and the sprocket 19, the latter being suitably secured to the usual main wheel 20 of t e harvester.

In applying the tractor to the harvester the usual'tongue is removed and the beam 1 bolted to the connection 21, usually employed for connecting the tongue. The beam 2 is bolted to the casting 22 which had previously been employed for connecting the usual tongue brace.

A further object of the invention is to pror m- 5 f g ng ClGSCFiPfiOH it Will be vide a tractor so constructed that the same Seen that a tractor has been provided which may be attached to t e usual connection for connecting the tongue to the machine.

A still further object of the invention is tl serving to not only propel the provide a device of this character which harvester, but at the same time operates the will when attached serve to propel the maparts of the'harvester. Further it will be chine across the field and at the same time seen that the harvester may be guided upon operate the necessary parts of the binder and harvester. tl

To all wiz am it mag concern:

and exact descripof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which. it appertains to make and use the same.

he present invention is directed to tractors designed for attachment to self binding harvesters.

The invention has for its object to construct a tractor in such a manner that the same mayjbe connected to a harvester ma- 1e medium of the shaft 10 and wheel 9 imparts proper movement to the wheel 8.

ma sectional view on line 33 of eferring to the drawing, the numerals 1 and 2 designate longitudinal beams upon which is supported a platform 3. The forward ends of the beams are held in spaced relation by a bar 4, said bar being provided with a bearing 5 in which is mounteda shaft 6, the lower end of said shaft being forked, asat 7 to support a wheel 8.

Fixed to the upper end of the shaft 6 is a worm wheel 9 having in mesh therewith a worm shaft 150, said shaft terminating in a stem 11 ,said stem being of sutlicient length to be in convenient reach of the operator ofthe s l-arvester 12. The extreme inner end of the stelmll is provided with a crank13 and by lVitnessesz.
